Disposing old pool chemicals

Hello,
I have some old bags of sodium bicarbonate that are hard as bricks, I'd like to get rid of them( not in the pool), but how do I safely dispose of these?
I also have cal-hypo that needs to go, do I bring this stuff bAck to the pool store to have them dispose of it?

Thank you for your time.

Thank you, everyone. I didn't think about putting the bicarbonate in the fridge
I'm up in NJ, we do occasionally have those Hazardous Waste drop off days here, I'll just keep my eyes open for them.
Thank you all agsin! Great site!

Re: Disposing old pool chemicals

Staying on topic regarding disposing of old pool chemicals what is the recommended way to get rid of old chlor-tabs? I also have a half bucket of powdered dry chlorine now caked and all of it unusable.
